@Russ, very good. I think applying a decode('utf-8') should solve this problem. I really hadn't tried using special characters yet.

@Russ I think very nice this resource of panels, I just use this. Could be intersting in cards shape (for example), would be very beatiful and pleasant. I am thinking too that you can create a dashboard, and the data of runs could be showed there in graphics shape

And if you have more ideas and features for the CLI, feels free open pull requests if possible.

@Russ, strange, a friend of mine uses ubuntu and managed to install normally. I'm going to create a ubuntu virtual machine and try this. Thanks for the feedback.

[offtopic] I see here that you have a PWA, very nice!! Congratulations, I really liked it.

Hi @Russ, I finish to publish a package on PyPi. Feel free to test and submit your contributions. To access click here.

@Russ thank you very much for the feedback, I will publish it, it's already on my GitHub (see here). This week I will document the solution and publish it on PyPI. Your TriggerCMD is amazing, congratulations!

hi, i also use arch linux (manjaro in my case) and i followed all the steps exactly as presented. Triggercmd keeps running in the background but when it's triggered, it doesn't perform the action (at least not in the foreground). I can see the logs in systemctl showing that it was triggered, but the action does not happen (open a program for example).

Entered I propose a rather simple solution. I'm using a dropdown terminal (in my case guake) to run the triggercmd in the foreground, but in a way that it's hidden.

For this solution to work completely, you need to create a script that executes this command:

guake -e "node ~/TRIGGERcmd-Agent/src/agent.js --console" -r "triggercmd" &

the -r flag is just to rename the guake tab.

add a sleep 20 a line before the command to ensure that it will run with some delay and avoid any possible problems.

The script looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Iniciando..."
sleep 20
guake -e "node ~/TRIGGERcmd-Agent/src/agent.js --console" -r "triggercmd" &

then you can create a triggercmd-agent.desktop file in .config/autostart.

inside the file inform this:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=TriggerCMD Agent
Comment=initialize triggercmd agent
Exec=sh -c "~/<path_to_script>/<script>.sh"
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
RunHook=0
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
hidden=false

done that, when logging in, an instance of guake will be started that executes the command to open the triggercmd, all in a hidden way.

The main reason for this solution is that, at least for me, running triggercmd in the background doesn't work.

I'm also developing a CLI to create, edit, list and remove commands in a friendlier way, since in arch linux it's not yet possible to run the triggercmd graphical interface.
